Europe 2018, 7

Took awning in last night as it felt it was going to thunder,but no, so this am out it out again, supposed to be warmer today but on the whole felt the same. By 12 it was clear and blue skies so a wander in to the village centre nothing open.

We popped to the inetrmarche for some items, will pick up beer and wine tomorrow in the way out.

Back to van read for a bit then pool relaxing a catching up on social media.

Still undecided as to what to do after Weds, if now news then will carry on to Spain.

Prepare food for a chicken stir fry with rice and a lot of veg. Jacqui will be pleased as she can now buy some more.

We discovered that 3 tablespoons make enough coffee for 2 mugs.

Europe 2018, 5

Awoke to discover that most had already left the site, we packed up paid our 4 euros, and moved to the unique service point. Lots of levers and slots, but all worked well and obvious what to do.

Then headed off the short route this time, decided to head south and see where we where around lunch time. Used the Auto route around Poitiers, this saved time initially but misunderstood the junction numbering so missed J29 and J30 so took J31 all in all about 90km, Peage initially came up with class 3, 18 euro, pressed button to speak took awhile to connect but ‘je suis une camping car…’ bingo class 2, 12 euro, very pleased.

Stopped for some lunch, decided to headed for ASCI site at Saint Justin, then changed mind and headed for

Camping Vert Bord’Eau

When arrived no one atbtge reception waited no one arrived other than 2 French couples eventually tried calling but dialled wrong so no answer, the French lady tried and got through, we got the code and setup electric and water all nearby, pool, restaurant closed but it’s ok, very hot, 32 in the shade.

Had a take away pizza from across the road. More Reacher and a glass of wine.

Coffee in Thame

Treacles tearoom not Costa, supporting the local small business, rather than the large corporate monster.  Found a part shave headed Cole(ridge) working upstairs, following the music route and still happy.

Paid cheque in Natwest found it irritating, did not remember my pin so rather than using machine, queued and waited for cashier.  First request, can you insert your card, am i going to need my pin I say, yes they respond, oh blast.  Had to login to keep2pass to find the PIN, basically a waste of 5 minutes queueing up.
